The fact that there's no multiplayer at all is absolutely ridiculous.

My stomach kind of hurts over the fact that Kid Icarus and Star Fox aren't here.

NintendoLife: Speculating Together, Today.

What "dust" has settled? Two ambiguous announcements? I get having initial reactions, but we know practically nothing.

I will buy the holy hell out of this.

Sorry to be a Negative Nancy, but good riddance. Half of us have been bickering about how Club Nintendo has been a disappointment for months now any way. Even now, with the updated games, the only two I'm even remotely interested in and don't have yet are on the WII VIRTUAL CONSOLE despite them already being on the WII U VIRTUAL CONSOLE! WHY? It's loving annoying. Hopefully some cool stuff will come along in the physical rewards between now and then, because I've got a lot of coins burning a hole in my virtual pocket.

Nintendo, please step up your game with the replacement.

Guess what? It wouldn't be a problem that NA didn't get the standard model if it wasn't for LUVYDUVYWUVING REGION LOCKING.

I can't help but feel bitter about this release, and some of Nintendo's practices in general recently. I hear the "they're just running a business" defense every now and then, and I get that, but that doesn't stop it from being scummy.

If this is what "festive cheer" is, then call me Mr. Grinch.

Zzzzzzz...

eShop caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaards

So for people who aren't interested in the 3DS version (very understandable if you haven't already bought it and have seen how the Wii U version has a TON more content), they would still need to buy it to play with Mewtwo. That's basically charging someone $40 for a character. I find it extremely hard to believe that if the character already exists, it would be that difficult to put him up as paid DLC on both systems. Again with the clearly short-sighted justification.

I feel like we keep getting post-reasoning from Nintendo. Like, the reasons are created based on the situation and didn't go into actually making the decision. I don't personally care if Ridley is in Smash or not, I don't think he would be very interesting, but this clearly doesn't make any sense. There are several characters with moves and concepts that were created IN SMASH, e.g. Fox, Falco, Wolf, Zelda, Sheik, Ganondorf, Captain Falcon, freaking ROB THE ROBOT. Were you concerned with maintaining the "character" or ROB?

If you don't have a sound reason, just don't say anything. You didn't put him in. You couldn't get everyone in. That's fine, and it makes way more sense. Fans aren't stupid, and they can see false justification.

WOW this bad. The only thing I'm even kind of interested in is Metroid II, and I feel like that pops up on Club Nintendo all the time. Awful.

I'll support anything with Fox McCloud that has absolutely nothing to do with Krystal.

No big titles next year? How about big titles NOW like, oh, I dunno, SMASH BROS.?! What the hell, Nintendo, give us this awesome machine!

700 coins is too much, and I don't care about the characters that much. Maybe we'll get a Greninja or Little Mac set at some point.

HOLY CRAP, DEMON'S CREST?! YO! Keep up the trend of releasing expensive carts on the VC please! First Earthbound, then Wild Guns, now this? Definitely getting that and GQII, both fantastic games.

Dealbreaker.

Hive Jump looks super rad, I am all over that!

I think it's absolute garbage that games will be exclusive to the system. This doesn't just make it a new version of the same system, it makes is a new system entirely. I only hope that it won't be that big of a wave of exclusives like it was with the DSi, but Xenoblade Chronicles is already a huge step beyond the exclusives that the DSi had.

This makes me feel like what I have now is obsolete, and that's bulldoggiepoopiepoodle.

So when they run out of stock do they just stop listing the item, or would it say "currently out of stock" on the item's page? Because this looks...really sparse right now. Not much that's very interesting or new. Disappointed.

My favorite part of these is actually the "World of Nintendo" packaging.

Online co-op is a huge miss for ANYTHING that has multiplayer like this, but we should all be pretty used to Nintendo neglecting this stuff, for the post part. Maybe some day.

So he wouldn't be very different, but here's a clone with some different properties? Why not just give Chrom the different properties, then? Why do we still have two Links? This explanation is a little odd...At least Robin is fantastic and interesting.

For the record...I say get rid of "Link" and just make Toon Link "Link" instead. Just sayin...

That GBA Pokedex is the sickest ever, I hope they keep that trend up forever.

Interested to see the price, considering how expensive the physical version has become. I still think I prefer the pixel-art graphics, though.

It's weird that this is a "best" vote, as opposed to a "favorite" one, just observing how many picks each get. It's just semantics, I guess, but it bothers me. People are just picking what they played as a kid, explaining why Ocarina is in first as of right now and not Ocarina 3D, which is clearly the best way to play it.

My favorite is WindWaker HD, but I wouldn't say that it's the "best." If I had to, I'd honestly say that goes to A Link Between Worlds, for what it's trying to do for the Zelda series.
